The following are things to do that are off the Strip, away from the neon lights - well, at least most of it. Some of these things are free, and I have grouped them in the first section. Everything else will cost you money. However, I have only included those things to do off of the Strip that are reasonable in price. Most of these places are not too far from the Strip and can be easily reached by car.

Kids can get bored quickly, and this city was not designed for them. There are a few arcades in some hotels, and there are pools for swimming when the weather is warm, but parents can run out of ideas to provide entertainment for their children quickly. Many of these destinations are suitable for families This book is illustrated with photos.

This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's face it. You can't gamble every minute of the day and night when you're in Las Vegas. Of course, there are plenty of shows you can see. Of course, there are usually a limited number of them you can because like most people, you come to Las Vegas on a budget. But this is one of the purposes of this book: to help people fill in some of their time in Vegas with many of the free things you can do. Of course, there are many people who don't like to gamble at all. But without gambling, you can spend a lot of time enjoying yourself with many of the attractions here. If you come to Las Vegas with a lot of money, you can do many fascinating things. Some of which cannot be found anywhere else in the world. But again, most people are on a budget, so even if you don't plan on gambling, the many free things to do that are listed in this book will stretch out your money. Or maybe you're coming to Las Vegas with friends, and you don't have much money to spend. You have enough money to eat and sleep, but after this, your bankroll is kind of thin. This book will show you all of the free things you can do in Las Vegas, and the most money you'll need to spend is $8 for a 24 hour bus pass. Not only are these attractions free, but they can be easily accessed by those arriving in Las Vegas without any transportation. Las Vegas does not go out of their way to advertise all of the things you can do for free, because they want you to spend lots of money. Naturally, they want you to gamble, this is their top source of revenue. But they also want you to spend money on shows and restaurants. In years past, this was more of a way to get people to come to Vegas and gamble, but today it is a part of their revenue. And they're trying to expand their sources of revenue wherever they can. Hotels are even charging people for parking now. But if you know what there is to do for free, you can see Las Vegas on a budget. This book is the ultimate guide to experiencing everything that Las Vegas has to offer that will cost you nothing. Not only will you learn about the free attractions on the Strip, but there is an entire section dedicated to free things you can see and do in Downtown Las Vegas. There is even a third section devoted to some of the interesting things to do for free that are both off the Strip and away from Downtown Las Vegas. So before you take your next trip to Las Vegas, explore the pages within this book, and think about seeing some of the free things described within the covers. It will help your budget, and you will enjoy your trip to Las Vegas much more once you see the many options available to you. Of course, if you are already in Las Vegas and find your funds drying up, you can purchase this book electronically and read it with a Kindle or other electronic device while you're in Las Vegas, so you will be able to find something to do for free. Most attractions described in the book have photos along with directions of how to get there and comments I make about each attraction.

Download or read book Ten Years a Nomad written by Matthew Kepnes and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part memoir and part philosophical look at why we travel, filled with stories of Matt Kepnes' adventures abroad, an exploration of wanderlust and what it truly means to be a nomad. New York Times bestselling author of How to Travel the World on $50 a Day, Matthew Kepnes knows what it feels like to get the travel bug. After meeting some travelers on a trip to Thailand in 2005, he realized that living life meant more than simply meeting society's traditional milestones. Over 500,000 miles, 1,000 hostels, and 90 different countries later, Matt has compiled his favorite stories, experiences, and insights into this travel manifesto. Filled with the color and perspective that only hindsight and self-reflection can offer, these stories get to the real questions at the heart of wanderlust. Travel questions that transcend the basic "how-to," and plumb the depths of what drives us to travel — and what extended travel around the world can teach us about life, ourselves, and our place in the world. Ten Years a Nomad is a heartfelt comprehension of the insatiable craving for travel, unraveling the authenticity of being a vagabond, not for months but for a fulfilling decade.

Download or read book The Big Book of Things to Do on the Las Vegas Strip written by Matt Lashley and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-02-23 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visiting Las Vegas can be overwhelming because there is so much to see and do. I live here in Vegas, so I have the luxury of visiting any casino or attraction any time I want to, but your time here in the city is limited, so too is your money. By knowing all the possibilities that Vegas has to offer, you can choose among your options to get the most out of your time and money while you're here. This is why I have written this book. I want you to be able to thumb through everything in this book before you arrive, planning your trip before you leave, or maybe you can find time to read it on the plane, so you can put together a last minute plan of attack for your Vegas trip. Of course, many don't start making plans until they first step foot inside their hotel room. If you're one of these people, this is definitely the book for you. Every attraction on the Strip is listed and described in detail, including some of my own opinions, which you can feel free to disagree with. The attractions are sorted alphabetically by hotel, or by the name of the attraction if it is outside a hotel property. There are also special sections on low-cost transportation and low-cost meals. For the latter, you need to keep in mind that low cost is a relative term on the Strip. There is also a special section on interesting places to eat. Though not necessarily cheap, like McDonald's, these restaurants are unusual, uncommon and fascinating, and may make your stay here more fun. The last appendix is about a particular shopping center that, although on Las Vegas Blvd, is too far south to be considered the Strip. However, if you are going to do some shopping while in Las Vegas, you may want to make a visit here. The prices are often low for popular brand names.

Download or read book Dark Days Bright Nights written by Matthew O'Brien and published by Central Recovery Press. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vivid and enlightening oral account of homelessness in the Las Vegas storm drains and the hard work of re-entering mainstream society. Are you aware that hundreds of people live underground in the flood channels of Las Vegas? Few people were until Matthew O'Brien grabbed a flashlight, tape recorder, and expandable baton for protection and explored the storm-drain system in depth. This research resulted in his landmark book Beneath the Neon. Now the drains have been covered by CNN, Fox News, NPR, Dr. Phil, the New York Times, the BBC, Al Jazeera, and many other media outlets. They have even found their way on to popular TV shows, including CSI, Criminal Minds, and into mainstream movies. But the fact that several of these drug- and gambling-addicted tunnel dwellers have clawed their way out of the drains and turned around their lives has received far less attention. Dark Days, Bright Nights shares their harrowing stories and provides a unique perspective on one of America's most fascinating cities. It also paints a larger picture of homelessness and recovery in America. These stories are the happy (though not Hollywood) ending to the infamous tunnel tale. The narrative is complemented by bios and stark, black-and-white images of the survivors, putting a scarred, knowing face to the unblinkingly honest accounts.

Download or read book 22 Things to Do on the Las Vegas Strip for 25 and Under written by Matt Lashley and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Las Vegas Strip is expensive. And since most people visiting the Strip have a limited budget, it is important to make your money stretch as far as it can. This is the reason for this book: to point out all of the things you can do on the Strip that are affordable. I have defined affordable as an activity that costs $25 or less. Above $25, there seems to be a jump to the low 30 dollar amount, and then ramping up to price tags that are outside of an average person's bankroll. There are many things you can do on the Strip for free, but I have already written extensively on the topic in my book Free Things To Do on the Las Vegas Strip: A Self-Guided Tour. This book serves as a companion guide, but it stands alone as a good guide for low-cost fun. There is also a bonus section: Eating for under $10If you're as old as I ma, you likely remember a time when you could eat cheap in Las Vegas. All the casinos wanted was your gambling dollars, and they would entice you with many attractive discounts. All that is gone. Today, they are trying to make money on everything. Most casinos are now charging for parking! Las Vegas doesn't want you to eat for under $10, but I have made it my mission to go up and down the Strip looking for the few possibilities that still exist. Use this section to plan a few of your meals in advance to save some of your cash for other things.

Book excerpt: The Strip is world famous and not only for the casinos, but also for the many things to see and do.

This book is a self-guided tour, taking you step by step down the Strip to visit all of the notable free things to do. This excludes most of the photo opportunities, because the entire length of the strip is filled with places to take a photo of you, your friends and relatives. Only a few places of interest, directly in our travel path, are mentioned. Also, shopping sites have been excluded except for three unique stores of interest on the Strip. The trip begins at the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign and ends in the downtown portion of Las Vegas Blvd. This is the old section of Las Vegas and is not considered a part of the Strip. I have included it to provide a complete Las Vegas experience.
